All packed #ready2go with top-layers by West System Norge
7 days until the world champion ship begins and we are going to Villa Pehunia in Alumine, Argentina.
This picturesque village by the lake is sited at over 1000 meters , it will be early springtime and the water will be cold.
Is it possible to stay warm while being sluiced by waves cold enough to give you an ice cream headache? Absolutely. When it comes to whitewater rafting in cooler temps, it pays to take a tactical approach to layering.
We have blogged about our great sponsors for under and mid layers in wool- nothing beats that..... and our bags are filled up with several pairs of socks, tights and sweaters.
As far as outer layers we will compete in neopren and/or splashgear, depending on the weather. West System Norge has sponsored us with with som great lightweight splash pants and jackets from NRS, and to keep our feet warm we brought som long waterproof socks from Hiko called Hikolars to wear in our shoes.
